On the Spring 2000 Quenya Course

The spring of 2000, Mellonath Daeron held a Quenya course
at the premises of the Tolkien Society Forodrim in Stockholm.
As textbook we used Nancy Martsch's Basic Quenya,
supplemented with errata lists, and with our own papers on points where
the book proved outdated.
Three members of the Guild served as teachers during nine three-hour
sessions, when the students had the opportunity to discuss the
lessons and analyze authorial samples of Quenya.

Of the ten people starting the course, six wrote and passed the
final exam, and subsequently received diplomas at the Forodrim
Spring Banquet. Teachers and students alike agree that the undertaking
was both instructive and fun.

For the benefit of our fellow Tolkien societies and interest-groups we
now publish the syllabus followed during the course. It is our hope
that it may serve as inspiration or guideline for others that wish
to learn or teach the High Elven language.
